This is from the X11R4 distribution. At the end of file
mit/server/ddx/ibm/ppc/ppcRot.c you will find the following code:
/* Following functions are added since it seems that the ppc has to solve
just about everybody's problems these days */
void
ppcEndWorldHunger()
{
ErrorF("ppcEndWorldHunger: not implemented yet.\n") ;
ErrorF("\tBlame Paquin, Fortune, Shupak, Weinstein, or Gould.\n") ;
return ;
}
void
ppcRefinanceNationalDebt()
{
ErrorF("ppcRefinanceNationalDebt: not implemented yet.\n") ;
return ;
}
void
ppcEndWarForever()
{
ErrorF("ppcEndWarForever: not implemented yet.\n") ;
return ;
}
void
ppcPayServerHackersWhatTheyreWorth()
{
ErrorF("ppcPayServerHackersWhatTheyreWorth: cannot execute.\n") ;
return ;
}
I also found in a system include file which declared a structure
for some mouse data. They needed to pad the end by two bytes,
and the last field was something like: short CurlyTail.
